Hello fellow cosplayers! My nickname is Shining Polaris! I started using that name for online selling. But after years of identifying with it, now its my name too! My real name is Christine and my official nickname (for sorority) is Eclipse! I LOVE anime and cosplaying! I fell in love with anime when I first watched Sailor Moon in 3rd grade and now anime and video games is my life! I started "unofficially" cosplaying when I was in 4th and 5th grade to Halloween parties (As Iron Mouse and Sailor Mars! My first cosplays!). My first convention was in 1996 to Anime Expo. I quit it completely when I went to High School (go figure!). I started to fell greatly in love with anime and cosplaying in college thanks to my friends!

--- Then I went BACK into retirement trying to get ahead in my Career at my real job. Now that I am in a place I am comfortable with I started cosplaying again in 2012. So I am back baby!
